Upon receiving this Lions Tale, we will be in the midst of the busy month of September.
Lest we forget August, my Thanks and appreciation goes to –
- Lion Charlie Hertel for coordinating the Ice Cream Dipping at the Montgomery County Fair and thanks to all the Lions, Partners-in-Service, Leos, Family and Friends for assisting with our day.
- Lions Rusty and Dee Reichmeider for coordinating the Mobile Health Unit on Thursday of the Montgomery County Fair and all the Lions who assisted with this effort.
- Lion Gary Rogers for being a Co-manager of the Ice Cream Parlor at the Montgomery County Fair for the entire week along with Lions Gerda and Doug Sherwood of the Laytonsville Lions Club.
District Governor Bill Thomas has adopted the theme of TEAM – “Together Everyone Achieves More”.
And again, it follows the theme of the International President – “Move to Grow”
So Fellow Lions – We MOVE to create new opportunities and we get those results by TEAM!
Moving Together is the ambiance of getting good results. And that is what will make us successful; doing what we do together.
September is a very busy Lions month, so moving together will make it happen.
As you read this Lions Tale, we will have already participated in the Damascus Community Fair.
Also, we will have been a part of the Hospice Caring, Inc., Wings of Caring, 20th Anniversary Celebration with a butterfly release. Our Board of Directors voted to have butterflies released in memory of Lions Albert Warfield, Mark Sain, Walter Shipley, Maurice Purdum and George Conner.
And then –
Lion Wayne Marr will have us geared up to do White Cane starting on the 16th.
Lion Charlie Hertel will have distributed the call list for the Blood Drive donors and preparing for a great drive.
And Lion Jerry Mallack will be coordinating the Promotional Display at the Damascus Heritage Day located at the Izaak Walton League. She solicits your help.
As September turns its “leaves”, it will be time for Basket Bingo on October 2 – need lots of support in many ways.
And then our Charter Celebration on Oct. 6. Make your reservations now!
Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Lion George and Partner-in-Service Viola Hibbard upon the lost of Viola’s mother.
Looking forward to continue working with each of you in our many efforts to reach out to our community.
